Chapter 1, Verse 2: Sanjaya narrates that Duryodhana approaches his teacher Drona, despite Bhisma being the army head, because Bhisma's unwavering vow to support the king's side is unshakeable. Duryodhana doubts Drona's loyalty due to Drona‘s favoritism towards Arjuna, exemplified by Arjuna‘s exceptional focus in a bird-shooting exercise. Duryodhana secures Drona's allegiance by leveraging Drona's love for his son, Ashvathama, who is close friends with Duryodhana. This interaction illustrates how personal considerations can influence one's sense of right and wrong. Duryodhana‘s psychological preparation of Drona is likened to a coach motivating players before a game, emphasizing the importance of mental readiness for significant events.

Chapter 1, Verse 3: Duryodhana reminds Drona of the strong opposition, led by Drupada and Dhṛṣṭadyumna, to boost Drona‘s morale. By highlighting the formidable warriors on the opposing side, including Arjuna and Bhima, Duryodhana aims to ensure Drona‘s commitment. The narrative underlines Draupadi's influential role in the conflict, showcasing her strength, assertiveness, and the psychological impact she had on her brother and the Pandavas.

Chapter 1, Verses 4-6: Duryodhana continues to enumerate the difficult-to-defeat warriors on the opposing side, such as Arjuna, Bhima, and Draupadi‘s brother. He discusses Draupadi's significant role in the Mahabharata, noting her assertiveness and influence despite her moments of arrogance. Duryodhana also mentions Virāṭa, who protected the Pandavas during their incognito year and chose to fight alongside them out of gratitude, and Abhimanyu, Arjuna‘s young but brilliant son, highlighting that brilliance and worthiness transcend age. Duryodhana's detailed account of the opposition's strength reveals his underlying insecurities as he prepares to discuss the warriors on his side.
